Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) overcomes the limitation of in vivo protein biosynthesis by processing in vitro transcription and translation of multiple genes to proteins within hours. We employed an automated CFPS to simultaneously synthesize proteins from 24 genes of the oomycete Pythium insidiosum (which causes the life-threatening disease pythiosis) and screen for a diagnostic and therapeutic target. CFPS successfully synthesized 18 proteins (∼75% success rate). One protein, namely, I06, was explicitly recognized by all pythiosis sera, but not control sera, tested. Py. insidiosum secreted a significant amount of I06. The protein architecture of I06 is compatible with the oligopeptide elicitor (OPEL) of the phylogenetically related plant-pathogenic oomycete Phytophthora parasitica. The OPEL-like I06 protein of Py. insidiosum can stimulate host antibody responses, similar to the P. parasitica OPEL that triggers plant defense mechanisms. OPEL-like I06 homologs are present only in the oomycetes. Py. insidiosum contains two OPEL-like I06 homologs, but only one of the two homologs was expressed during hyphal growth. Twenty-nine homologs derived from 15 oomycetes can be phylogenetically divided into two groups. The OPEL-like genes might occur in the common ancestor, before independently undergoing gene gain and loss during the oomycete speciation. In conclusion, CFPS offers a fast in vitro protein synthesis. CFPS simultaneously generated multiple proteins of Py. insidiosum and facilitated the identification of the secretory OPEL-like I06 protein, a potential target for the development of a control measure against the pathogen. IMPORTANCE Technical limitations of conventional biotechnological methods (i.e., genetic engineering and protein synthesis) prevent extensive functional studies of the massive amounts of genetic information available today. We employed a cell-free protein synthesis system to rapidly and simultaneously generate multiple proteins from genetic codes of the oomycete Pythium insidiosum, which causes the life-threatening disease called pythiosis, in humans and animals worldwide. We aimed to screen for potential diagnostic and therapeutic protein targets of this pathogen. Eighteen proteins were synthesized. Of the 18 proteins, one was a secreted immunoreactive protein, called I06, that triggered host immunity and was recognized explicitly by all tested sera from pythiosis patients.
